What oil is best? and what ratio?

[Keith Gandy]

Maybe just to be on the safe side? They state not to use at temps below 30 degrees. Maybe just for legal reasons, as motorcycles and dirtbikes are far more expensive than our little chainsaws. Lol

Is that Benol? R u using kl200 or Benol

 

[RI Chevy]

I have both. But I was referring to the Benol.

Ive used a good bit. Alil sooty and ashy but worked well for me

 

[RI Chevy]

I guess I have no alternative but to try Red Armour after that. Jeesh. This is getting expensive, but fun. LOL

R the calcium based carbonates responsible for cleaning also Ben?

Yes.

Me neither,lol.
It does smell good.

 

[RI Chevy]

The Benol attacks more of our senses. Lol
More pleasure. It us a little messy though.

@Keith Gandy kl200 does has rust inhibitors, but NOT to be used as storage oil.

Also I tested a batch for 13 months that I kept to the side. No stabilizer used and never any separation. This was with ethanol gas and I wanted to see if I could get it to separate even leaving small batch open at times. Never did.

Tech specs for KL-200

Rust Prevention: Contain rust inhibitors. Not recommended as a
storage lubricant.

Honestly I think the fuel stabilizer claim is dubious at best.

 

[bwalker]

Wonder why not a storage oil?

Because esters suck as storage lubricants. They biodegrade very easily when exposed to water.

I just got a quart of saber in and just ordered a 6 pack of the 13oz red armor. Should be set for the winter. Considering I still have probably close to 25 oz of Dolmar synthetic.

Ron660s 440 a logger gave him. Less than 1 weeks use with Stihl Orange bottle

Mine came out to $44 a gal. I would buy 10qts at a time case. It has went up $2 a qt since shipped.

But still $53 shipped for a gal. http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/302110610549?lpid=82&chn=ps&ul_noapp=true

Thats just the first p

Maybe members of OPEC are following this thread?

Typical from what I usually see with Stihl oil. Usually alot worse. Actually Ive seen exhaust ports at least 50% less than factory opening with it

I just drain the fuel and fill with canned fuel like vp, true fuel or husqvarna xp. Probably be the husqvarna xp because I get it cheaper.

LOL should have said. Went up $2 a qt since I last bought it. Shipping is still free bought in bulk.
